See attached for my mix

Spent about an hour on it, your voice reminded me a bit of Owl City so I went for that Vibe a bit.

Used primarily waves plugins and took a few liberties with automation.

Let me know if you like how it turned out!

I’m new here but love listening to everyone’s take and artistic style on the mixes. It’s 3am and really enjoy the different perspectives. Looking forward to eventually trying out a few.

Can you mix my cover of 'A Long December' by Counting Crows?
25 Tracks
Tempo: 76 bpm

Hi Guys. I would really appreciate it if anyone would like to have a stab at this. I've been working on it for quite a while, and I'm really excited to see what people do with it.

Notes:
All tracks are clean but for both bass and piano I also included a couple of alternate tracks. For bass: One with Amp/DI Sim. For piano: One EQ'd a bit brighter as used in my basic mix. Use whichever fits.

Vocal: Needs narrow frequency cut for a room resonance problem at roughly 10800hz. Maybe same for melodica, but it's less apparent. Please don't auto tune vocals, even if they're not perfect. :)

On the last pre-chorus (at 3:43): The idea if for the Melodica to grow smoothly from soft to *almost* irritatingly loud, then suddenly cut (this might work or really might not, but it would be good to try it out).

Tracks: LongDecember_MichaelWard_30Aug2016

Please come back with any tips/questions. Feel free to be creative.

I had a lot of fun making it, hope you have as much fun mixing it.
